Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said Wednesday she is filing a resolution to expel Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) from Congress after the Justice Department charged her with allegedly assaulting law enforcement.

The New Jersey representative was charged with "interfering with law enforcement" after a scuffle with ICE officials in Newark.

Democratic strategist James Carville claimed on MSNBC that race was a major factor in the Department of Justice charging Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J.

Democrats say Alina Habba's charges against the member of Congress are politically motivated but the GOP candidates for governor support them.
